"Understanding and illuminating, through works of art, the philosophical questions of our time." This book traces an artistic path that leads to a philosophical theme that is in tune with our reality. It speaks of violence, a notion that tragically invites itself into the thread of our current events made up of conflicts, riots, discrimination, and power struggles. The work of art is then, according to the authors, a gateway to reflection, a window open to discussion. In this argument, the work is much more than a cultural marker, it captures attention, causes a sensation, makes one feel, sense what is to be thought, in a word, it is exemplary. This journey highlights, in a few chapters, more than twenty works delivered through the crossed perspectives of the art historian and the philosopher. Éric Cobast is an associate professor at the University. Élinor Myara-Kelif has a doctorate in art history.
